Ok First I want to apologize for the length of all this.
What i have here is the same code, in one the skysphere is disabled and in the second it is not.
The first one works, except I really want the skysphere to denote how far my player can see. In the second, my player is up way over the world, outside of the dungeon.
I hope someone can look at this and tell me why, its just driving me crazy! Also, I'm new to DBPro, so any other suggestions would be helpful! thank you!

First code, no skysphere

A couple of things caught my eye...

Don't use rem and ` after a commond on the same line, if can confuse the compiler. Use a colon (

to separate the commands.

if thisTest = 0 : ' remember to separate the commands with a colon

And this seems wrong...

If object collision(pn#,0)>0 and object collision (pn#,2) <> 2

Object collision either returns the number of objects hit or a one or zero for a specific object check. So, the first use (with a zero) is, "do I have any hits at all?" On the second expression you want to say, "ignore hits with the sky sphere." The kicker is that you never set a collision box for the sphere and you need to check for a 0/1 result. Try something a bit more easy and see what happens.

If object collision(pn#,0) > 0

Your Code Looks Good exept for few small problems...
Change This, "position object 2,object position x(1), Height, object position z(1)" to "Position Object 2, Camera Position X(),Camera Position Y(),Camera Position Z()
...As a general rule, always position your skysphere at the camera position...
Also, Have you camera range about 50 units larger than your skysphere. This will increase the performance of your game considerably...
Check the "If object collision(pn#,0)>0 and object collision (pn#,2) <> 2" Line. It might be right how it is but i think this is how it should be...
"If object collision(pn#,0)>0 and object collision (pn#,2) <> 1"

well... I hope that helps...

TAZ beat me to it.

Still having problems, it seems that my Skysphere pushes me out of the level entirely, or my collision refuses to work at all! Please help! I tried :

+ Code Snippet

If object collision(pn#,0)>0 and object collision (pn#,2) <> 1

and adding a collision box to my skysphere, but I'm still having the same problem
